By the way, the patchset "[PATCHv6 00/11] direct-io dma alignment"
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20220610195830.3574005-1-kbusch@xxxxxx/T/#u),
which is currently queued in linux-block/for-next for 5.20, will relax the user
buffer alignment requirement to the dma alignment for all filesystems using the
iomap direct I/O implementation.  If that goes in, the XFS implementation of
STATX_DIOALIGN, as well as the ext4 and f2fs ones, will need to be changed
accordingly.  Also, the existing XFS_IOC_DIOINFO will need to be changed.
